Required Practical Thermal Insulators Flashcards
Steps 11
1) place small beaker in large beaker
2) use kettle to boil water
3) 80cm3 into beaker use a measuring cylinder
4) place cardboard lid with hole for thermometer - bulb in water
5) record starting temperature
6) start stopwatch
7) measure temperature every 3mins for 15 mins
8) repeat
9) same volume of hot water
10) use different insulating material between beaker
11) use same Mass of material
Independent variable
Insulating material
Dependent
Temperature
Control
Mass of material
Volume of water
Starting temp of water
Water will cool most ….. with the best insulator
Slowly
Thickness steps
1) same but only 1 beaker
2) add layer of newspaper
3) repeat
Independent in thickness
Layers of newspaper
Dependent thickness
Temperature
